POLITICAL.
Nothing has been done or agreed to
regarding the congressional conference.
At Pittsburg, Tuesday, the Prohib.
state executive committee adjourned
without naming a candidate for Gover
nor, vice Berry, resigned. The commit
tee is to meet again in Harrinburg,
within two weeks.
"What do I think of the campaign ?"
said Ex. Gov. Stone, in reply to inquiry.
"Well, I don't think much about it. I
don't think as much about campaigns
as I used to. Politics seems to be a lost
industry since Roosevelt became Presi
dent.
"I don't understand present politics.
I can't see why Independent Republi
•cans should object to Penrose and
Andrews running the campaign. They
ran the last one to their satisfaction,
didn't they?
"I can't see why thev should com
plain at all. Are they not fighting for
principle and are not all the principles
embraced within the, Republican plat
form '! The Ten Commandments would
have been inserted had Penrose been
acquainted with them.
"I can't predict the fate of individu
als. but that platform ought to win. "
GUATEMALA, Honduras and Sari
Salvador, three alleged Repubfics lying
to the south of Mexico, were fighting
each other, last week, but have ac
cepted the "good offices" of the United
States, to make peace.
THE gold outpnt of the Rand district
in South Africa has steadily increased
since the Boer war and is now consider
ably above the highest production be
fore the war. But at the same time the
market prices of shares in the Rand
mines have fallen over one-half, or a
shrinkage of about $050,000,000. This
incongruity is not explicable by market
conditions. Tbe Boer war was brought
on by the mining interests because the
Boer Government would not frame its
labor laws to sapply practically en
forced labor of the natives in tbe mines.
After the outrageous aggression has
been pushed to completion at over
whelming cost to the British taxpayer
the Rand mining companies are finding
that the British Government will go no
further in enforcing contract labor in
tbe mines than the Boer Government
. did. Various propositions for coolie
labor have been advanced and some
even experimented with But when
they bad to stand tbe light of parlia
mentary debate the support of the Gov
ernment had to be withdrawn from
them. In essential features the matter
is similar to the troubles of thu Hawai
ian sugar planters, only on a larger
scale. The mining intercuts grossly
overestimated the gains that were ex
pected from the war, and the deprecia
tion of their shares marks the acuteness
of their disappointment.

A Terrible Revenge.
For fiendish ingenuity the murder of
Frank Getzner. an emplove of the J. B.
King plaster works at Brighton,
Siaten Island, who was killed early last
Saturday morning by being tied to a
revolving shaft by his companions, has
probably neTer been surpassed.
Fiftr men employed in the factoiy
have been arrested, [tending the investi
gation of the Coroner and police.
The tody of Getzner was found bv
the dsv workmen, stripped of its cloth
ing Hii'l l-«iten to a pulp by being
whirle<l and threshed against the Iwanis
of tli«- r.x»f and the machinery b-iieat!'
It was almost unrecognizable.
tialzuer was in charge vl th»- night
-hi ft, wbupt- duty it is to clean up the
mill each night and have it ready for
the day force to begin work His force
consisted of about ■"»<) Poles and Italians.
Ab.nt a week ago Getzner reported one
of the men. who is only known as "No.
;!U3," to Superintendent S. W. Fancher
for being lax in his work. The super
intendent reprimanded the man before
hi.-, companions. Getzner was told to
see that No. '203 performed his full
share of the work Getzner carrried
out his instructions and during the last
week he had narrowly escaped death
three times by ''accidents caused by
the carelessness of his fellow workmen.
That night the night shift gathered
up the short bits of rup*- used to tie salt
bags and made a rope of about 25 or -50
feet by tying the bits together Sud
denly Getzner was seized by his com
panions and, while he was held. some_
one tied the rope about his feet and
The room showed that he made a ter
rific struggle for his life.
The free end of the rope was then
passed over the revolving shafting a
couple of times. Slowly the shafting
liegan to wind up the slack rope, the
men holding Getzner, the Coroner says,
while it was taut
Then on the next turn Getzner was
jerked from his feet aud suspended in
the air until he was drawn up to the
shafting. lie was then beaten against
the beams and machinery until dead
The man's left leg was torn from his
body
Five or six of the night shift were
questioned by the Coroner about the
death of Getzner, and as their stories
did not agree he ordered them all under
arrest The man known as No. 20IJ was
not anion# those arrested and the police
sent out a general alarm for him.
A Strange Killing.
George Mitchell, a yonthwho recent
ly shot and killed Franz Edmund Cref
field, a "Holy Roller" prophet, and was
acquitted of the charge of murder on a
plea of insanity, was shot and killed by
nis sister. Esther, in the Seattle, Wash ,
Union station, last Thursday.
Esther Mitchell joined the "Holy
Rollers" sect at Corvallis. Ore., and was
one of the most ardent of Creffield a fol
lowers. When her brother pursued the
leader of the "Holy Rollers" to Seattle,
and shot him in the street, he pleaded
in justification that Creffield had de
luded and wronged hie sister. George
Mitchell was acquitted of the charge of
murder on Tuesday, and nearly all of
the following day he spent in searching
for Esther in Seattle lodging houses.
She refused to be comforted after the
death of Creffield.
Miss Mitchell was arrested shortly
after her brother fell dead by her hands.
She had refused to have anything to do
with her brother since he shot Creffield
to avenge Creffield's treatment of ner
Thursday was the first time
the brother and sister had been seen to
geter on apparently good terms. After
the shooting, Perry and Fred Mitchell,
two brothers, were arrested as witnesses
They were found together on a bench
in the station sobbing on each other's
shoulders.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement. „ .
" Mrs. Creffield and I talked over, the
mm*T~r nt Irilling (4 gorge The one that
had thelMrt CMMM* was to do It. Mrs.
Creffield bought We gun. We were at
the room about 4 this evening and I
thought I wonld have a better chance
to do it than Mrs Creffield, as my
brother wanted to see me, and believed
that he would think nothfag about my
going to the depot. Then Mrs. Creffield
gave me the gun and 1 was to do it.
We agreed that it must be done as soon
as possible I went "to ttft> depot and
saw Perry gat his ticket. At last I saw
George ana I shook bands with him.
He and Perry were walking in front
and Fred and I were walking befeind I
was walking to the door and George
was in front of me. That was "the
chance I wanted and I shot him. My
brother Fred scabbed me and I sat
down on his lap and put my arms about
his neck. I sat there and the officer
came. I intended to follow bijp to
Portland if I did not get a chance at
him here. I am not soiry I did the
strooting; I am glad of it."
*»The little She-devils."
Anent the Thaw shooting, a lot of the
rankest kind of nonsense is being writ
ten and printed about the allurements
and temptations to which the poor, in
nocent chorus girls are being subjected
by the men qf wealth and sensuality.
Editors are moralizing on the degener
acy of morals and ministers are shout
ing themselves black in the face over
the wrongs perpetrated on the little she
devils back of the foot-!igbts. in all
human probability much of this
sympathy is undeserved. One chorus
girl, who was interviewed on the sub
ject, after exacting a promiae that her
name would not be mentioned, as it
would cost her her job said: "The
principal fault is with the girls them
selves. Most of them are anxious to
have millionaires introduced to them.
Temptatioas? Nonsense! They are
hunting for such temptations. Chorus
girls run no more rifk of being led
astray than girls in any otker walk of
life. There are certain men to ;vi,oii,
theatrical managers cannot deny cer-,
tain privileges. Stanford White was
one of these. He built Madison Square
Garden and was vice president of the
company that owned it. Consequently
he had a right to go anywhere he liked.
Moet chorus girls considered it a great
feather in their caps to be seen with
Stanford White or any of his associates.
He was generous to an extreme. If he
had a pet in the show she -ould enter
tain the entire company at his expense.
Every girl knew what his attentions
meant, and most of us would have
given up a year's pay to get those at
tentions. On ono occasion he gave a
litter dinner to a lot of girls, each of
whom found a S2O gold piece under a
box of candy at her plate. There was
| not a girl there who aid not know what
delicate bint was hidden in that gold
piece, and when they were given to un
derstand that things would come pretty
lively before the night was over, and
that any one who did not care to con
tribute her share might leave her S2O
gold piece and go, those who stayed did
so because they wanted to stay,"—Ex
Those Terrible Heads.
' Commenting on ex-Governor Stone's
declaration that if the replica of his
head is not taken off the big bronze
door of the new State capitol be will file
and scrape if off himself. Superintend
' out Shumaker of Public Crounds and
Buildings said:
"It is no more than just for the news
papers of the State to make plain that
this building is now in the hands of the
contractor, who is responsible to the
Capitol Building Commission. The
Board of Public Grounds and Bsildings
has no more to do with it than you havt.
The heads were put on the door by the
contractor They are a part of the
building which is not yet the property
of the State. We are occupying it now
as a matter of convenience and those
doors are not under control of our de
partment and won't be until the build
ing is turned over to us."
"When will that be?" he was aukcd.
"Maybe in a month or two. I can't
say just now."
"What will be done with the heads
then?"
"I can only say wait and see. The
Board of Public Grounds and Buildings
will decide that, "

COPPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
The Art Wan Discovered Tliroiiijh the
sferp#t Accident,
Every out- Las noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines of
his name, anil almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident .
by the goldsmiths of Florence in the ;
fifteenth century. It is a historical i
fact, however, that one day an engrav
er on gold, wishing to take a proof of
his work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then tilled up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this it occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be ob
tained by filling up the original en
graving with lampblack Instead of
making an impression of it and filling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it Into practical use, and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting a fair
impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers In the art, and they
hailed it with joy, as it saved all the
arduous trouble <>( making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
of the discovery, and consequently the
art of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before Its truo import was
discovered and brought out in all its
great and beautiful results. Today col
lectors of plate engravings rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples of these
early masters to add to their collec
tions. Many of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated by
the people.
THE BEST SLEEP.
It In Tliat Which Due Cannot Avoid
Without II StruKKli*.
When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep, indeed, tho
only healthy kind, Is that which one
cannot avoid without a struggle. It is
the sleep that always follows on weari
ness; it is not that which is obtained
by difficulty. If a person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re
freshed—tliat Is, with no further in
clination to sleep—he would not then
be in need of it. His proper course
would be to arise and engage In work,
lint lit, .mist be prepared to sleep at
any time In the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rulo there Is one
exception. L«t us suppose that one
has acquired the habit of sleeping half
the flight and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such a habit can ]
be best broken by rising after the first, i
sleep and refraining from a nap In tho '
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances oro that the victim of Insom
nia will be so sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper bQUf for
rising.
In any case It Is a great mistake to
turn over on the other side and remain
in a half conscious state. Indeed, It Is
a more serious mistake than many
would believe, says Ilome Notes. The
brain Js now in a jtecullar state, more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be possible under any other nor
mal conditions. Quite a lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers of this half waking state.

* A prominent Philadelphia lawyer was
narrating to a younger advocate some
o r the delays and complications of a
chancery suit In which he was eu

Jarndycfc." The other at once looked
thoughtful and pretty soon, pleading
an engagement, went off. The next
morning he went Into the younger
man's office with an air of great vex
ation. "Look here!" foe said. "Why

was taken Into the Kugllsh language
in the seventeenth century It was re

I Long after It had become childish it j
was still accounted genteel. Hood

Cnnula mid Koudw In France.
It is curious that the French, who
have done more than most nations to
cultivate the graces of life, should be
the people to boast the most perfect
system of canals and roads lu the
world; more curious still that, when
most practical, they are still careful
not to sacrifice the purely graceful or
decorative. The roads and canals are
built for use, but between their serried
ranks of pQplats they become so many
stately groves and avenues, dossing
the country from end to end.—Century.

spected citizens of the township.
"He was born Nov. 14, 1864, died Jnly
10, 1906, making his age 41 years, 8
months, 1 day. A service was held for
the family on Sunday evening by the
Rev. J. A. Beighey, bis pastor, who
also attended him during his sad afflic
tion. The funeral services were held
from the home at the St. Paul's Ev.
Lutheran church and were conducted
bv his pastor and Rev. John Heckert,
who, 13 years ago, united Mr and Mrs.
Fleming, nee I/egley, in the holy bonds ;
of matrimony, and who had been in 1
boyhood his schoolmate and friend.
The funeral services were very largely
attended as his friends were many
and he was looked up too as a good
neighbor, a good citizen, and a cnris
tain. There remain to mourn him his
faithful wife, two children, his mother,
five brothers, four sisters, and many
friends. Friends look again and see in •
this afflicting dispensation the hand of I
God ruling and see in his dealing with ,
us the mercy and grace of God, calling |
the sinner and careless to repentance ere j
the day of grace be over. For Mr.
Fleming wo know that he has fallen J
asleep in Jesus, therefofe shall wake to i
life and glory eternal.", B.

Past Present and j
Future Paint
„ The best "past" paint is the
paint which has worn down
evenly, leaving the surface
ready for repainting without
the need of expensive scraping
and "burning-off."
The best "present" paint is
the paint which is applied with
least labor, covers the most sur
face per gallon, and looks the
best when on.
The best "future" paint is
the paint which lasts without
cracking or peeling, affording
perfect protection for the great
est number of years.
Viewed in any of these ways,
